Symbol Map
In Wyn Enterprise, Symbol Map is a visual representation tool used to display geographical data. It utilizes symbols, such as markers or icons, to represent data points on a map, allowing you to easily visualize and analyze spatial information. Symbol maps are particularly useful for depicting location-based data, such as sales figures by region, customer distribution, or site locations. By leveraging interactive features, users can drill down into specific regions or data points for deeper insights. Symbol maps enhance data comprehension and decision-making by providing a clear and intuitive representation of geographic trends and patterns.
In this help article, you will find information on designing and using a Symbol Map on Wyn dashboards.
Design a Symbol Map
To add a Symbol Map to your dashboard scenario, switch to the Resource Portal or Document Portal and follow the below instructions,
Use the + (create button) and click the Create Dashboard option to access the dashboard designer.
Navigate to the Data Visualization section from the toolbar and drag and drop the Symbol Map scenario onto the dashboard designer area.
Bind Dataset to Symbol Map
With the map scenario selected, navigate to the Data Binding panel and select a dataset from the Choose Dataset dropdown to bind to the scenario. When the dataset loads successfully, the data binding panel automatically expands and displays the data attributes available for data binding. Drag and drop the appropriate data fields in the Region data container or the Latitude and Longitude data containers. Drag and drop other appropriate fields in the Symbol and Tooltip containers also.
Note: You can bind data fields to the Region or Latitude and Longitude containers. However, if you add fields to all three containers, Latitude and Longitude will take precedence. Aggregation Method for Symbol can take only First and None values.
Format Data Attributes
You can perform various operations to format the data attributes on a symbol map and control the display of data. Use the settings icon in the data field containers to format the data attributes. The following operations are included in the Symbol Map scenario,
Aggregation Method: Use the Aggregation Method option to display a summarized value by aggregating multiple data attribute values. Aggregation Method supports Sum, Average, Min, Max, Count, and Distinct Count methods. See the Aggregation Method help topic for more information.
Filter: The Filter option displays relevant data in your chart scenario. See the Filter Data help article for more information.
Rename: Use the Rename option to change the name of a data attribute to make it comprehensible and meaningful. See the Rename a Data Attribute help article for more information.
Remove: Use the Remove option to remove a data attribute from the chart scenario.
